True Detective Season 2 Main Titles

Director Patrick Clair, Lead Animator/Compositor Raoul Marks and the rest of the team at Elastic strike again for HBO’s True Detective. 

The title sequence for the first season of the critically acclaimed drama won an Emmy for Outstanding Main Title Design in 2014. This new one meets that bar of excellence — possibly exceeding it.

While the first sequence mostly contained desaturated double-exposed imagery within the bounds of silhouetted characters and objects, this new sequence takes a more textural approach, with detailed topographic imagery undulating across the entire frame in brilliant crimsons gradually giving way to black and white vignettes.
